Behringer Cat Analog Synth

The Cat is manufactured as an analog, duophonic and a three-octave synthesizer, similar to the ARP Odyssey. Its keyboard creates two control voltages, routed into its two VCOs. An ultra-affordable and even more feature-packed homage to that iconic synthesizer comes in the form of the Behringer CAT. The pure analog signal path is based on authentic VCO, VCF and VCA designs in conjunction with 4 variable and simultaneous oscillator shapes and Duophonic/Paraphonic capabilities.

In engineering the CAT, it features a true original analog circuitry, legendary VCO, VCF and VCA designs that come together to produce classic tones. It enables you to create many astounding tones from super-fat bass, tasty leads.

The synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1970s and 80s in progressive rock, wave and synth-pop have become classics and have inspired many other artists. The CAT has the strength to accept any keyboard controller via MIDI. The signals produced can be tweaked via the Pitch Bend slider which can bend a note up or down one octave. Bump this up to two octaves by flipping the Octave Shift switch up or down. Use the Glide slider to change how fast a note transitions to another; up is faster, down is slower. Combine that with the LFO Freq slider to control the LFO and ADSR repeat tempo and you can create some amazing pulsating portamentos.

The very heart of the CAT’s sound is its two VCOs. The Duophonic/Paraphonic nature of the CAT enables both oscillators to be controlled independently. Use the Fine and Coarse Frequency controls to tune VCO1 to VCO2. Keyboard control on the CAT can be set to either Mono or Poly. Poly mode lets VCO1 generate the highest note played on the keyboard while VCO2 handles the lowest allowing two notes to be played simultaneously. Setting the switch to Mono mode makes VCO1 produce the lowest note depressed on the keyboard.

Waveform switches on both VCOs gives unique waveforms to be patched in from the LFO. It can be chosen between Sine, Square, Sample and Hold and even pitch modulation through each VCO. Turning the Modulation Depth knobs in either direction controls the intensity of the effect. VCO2 also comes with a Sync switch that locks VCO1 with it and has them act as one huge oscillator to produce more complex waveforms and dramatic results.
